Majority of local red-firing clays do not fit to slip casting method because red clays have a very complex behavior. This study focused on the development in casting behavior of the local red clay for Nangguyudan red clay, Macayepyep red clay and Baligat red clay. Slip casting method was used in order to evaluate the experimental red clay for the development of Terra Cotta Product. Result of the study shows that Nangguyudan and Macayepyep red clays exhibit good casting properties basing on the fluidity, physical properties and the experimental product that was produced in the study. However, Baligat red clay can be castable at formulation 70: 30 (clay - sand ratio) provided that it will follow specific procedure for casting methods. It is also base on the product produce in the study.
